Williams-Sonoma Ginger Sesame Braising Base

Need to get a great home-cooked dinner on the table in a hurry? Our timesaving sauce makes it easy to enjoy a savory, succulent braise – even on the busiest weeknights. Inspired by the master sauces of Asia, our braising sauce uses sake from a 170-year-old Kyoto brewery, rich chicken demi-glace, fragrant roasted sesame oil, savory soy sauce and fresh ginger. A pinch of chili and anise add subtle heat and a lingering aroma. Preparation is simple: just combine the sauce with seared chicken or pork in a large pan, then transfer to the oven to finish cooking. Serve your braise with freshly cooked rice for a meal everyone will love.
